Palestinian wanted to burn the Israeli flag. Look what happened next
8:14 AM EDT, October 13, 2023
A group of young Palestinians wanted to express their support for their compatriots and emphasize their hatred of Israel, which is retaliating after a Saturday attack by Hamas from the Gaza Strip. One of them set the Israeli flag on fire, but did so ineptly that he turned into a living torch himself. Hatred, as we see, brings nothing good.
A group of young Palestinians didn't protest against Israel very successfully. The attempt to burn its flag could have ended tragically for the boy who first set it on fire, and then he himself turned into a human torch. He didn't pay attention to where the wind was blowing from. And since the flames quickly engulfed the flag of Israel, he did not manage to throw away the pole.
And in this way, the fire engulfed the young man's clothes, who started to run away screaming. His companions from Palestine were in total shock and did not know how to help.
We don't know exactly where the recording came from and whether the group wanting to show support for Palestine, and express their hatred for Israel, did this in the Gaza Strip or the West Bank, where hundreds of thousands of Palestinians live. They gather from all over the world, from Paris and London, to New York, Tehran and Baghdad, to express their views.
People are not hiding their joy over the terrorists' attack on Israel and are waiting for the situation to develop. They have been dreaming for years for the Gaza Strip to be free and for Israel to lose the war it has just declared on Hamas. But for now, the chances of that happening are slim, and the brutal attack and murders committed against civilians will certainly not help the Palestinian cause at all.
Just as burning flags and expressing hatred for the other side of the conflict will not help. It most often ends tragically, as a young Palestinian man who was burning the Israeli flag found out. The burns he could have incurred will remind him of how foolish and thoughtless this act was.
Hamas attacked Israel, hundreds of innocent people are dead
The balance of the Hamas terrorists' attack on Israel is staggering. 1200 people were killed, of which only 241 were Israel Defense Forces (IDF) soldiers, while the rest were innocent civilians. Hundreds more people were killed on the Palestinian side as the Jews did not leave the attack unanswered.
And as authorities have announced, the retaliation will be unprecedented. The military has increased its strength to over half a million soldiers in just a few days, heavy equipment has been brought in and a ground invasion of the Gaza Strip is being prepared.
The area is being bombarded constantly, and special forces are working on eliminating Hamas leaders at many levels.
Hundreds of innocent people are still dying on both sides of the barricade. However, the hatred burns, and there's no end to the conflict in sight. Palestine wants freedom, Israel wants revenge for the spilled innocent blood. On Saturday, as many Israelis were killed as during World War II. The nation hasn't experienced such a tragedy since the Holocaust.
